After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Bulls 118-116. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
